"The sounds are always good quality and the included Elastik sampler is useful. Trance, electro, progres- sive or minimal, Trance ID2 has something for you."

 

Ueberschall are reacting to the ever-changing face of electronic music by updating their successful Trance ID sample set with new cutting-edge techy sounds. Trance ID 2 is the second instalment of the sample library and now incorporates the latest trends in the genre such as neo, electro and tech-tran- ce, as well as elements from progressive and minimal. Ueberschall’s Trance ID2 has been put together by Grammy-nominated DJ and producer Mike Koglin, along with some of Germany’s best-established music industry professionals: between them they’ve landed dozens of club chart smashes, earning them huge support from beat behemoths such as Tiesto and Paul Van Dyk.

With over two gigabytes of sounds, including 30 construction kits and 1,000 loops and single sounds, there is plenty to work with, and with the included Elastik Player you don’t even need an external sam- pler. Elastik is an easy-to-use loop player: time-stretching, pitch-shifting and filter with kill function are just the beginning of its functionality, and the manual for Elastik is comprehensive.

(...) The sounds are always good quality and the included Elastik sampler is useful. Trance, electro, progres- sive or minimal, Trance ID2 has something for you.
